Panama

I know it has been some time since my last post and I have no photos of
Thanksgiving food but there is a very good reason for that.
My husband and I went to Panama for Thanksgiving.

The best way I can describe our week in Panama is by saying that the whole
trip was more like an adventure than a vacation. For example, the day we
left Atlanta to begin our trip, what should have been about a 4 to 4 1/2 hour
journey turned into a 10 hour journey that included our plane being turned around and eventually after landing in Panama,renting a car which came with a few technical difficulties, and then a police escort to the hotel at around 3:30 am with sirens going and driving about 35 miles an hour the whole way. That was just our first days so please trust me when I say our trip was quite an adventure.

With that said I did capture some great photos of the beauty of Panama.

The view from our balcony at the first hotel: Playa Bonita



Beautiful Flowers Everywhere:

The Monkeys we saw on our tour to Monkey Island ~ they got a little closer than what I expected because one of the ladies on our boat (who did not follow the rules) had about 3 bunches of bananas in her bag and was throwing them to the monkeys.









The Birds - which is one of the main reasons we went to Panama. I don't normally try to take pictures but for some of these birds we were just so close to them that I had too!











There are many more stories and photos but that is all I have for now since this is a food blog. :)
